Switch is an android class for a two state toggle switch

From Android Developer Documentation:

A Switch is a two-state toggle switch widget that can select between two options. The user may drag the "thumb" back and forth to choose the selected option, or simply tap to toggle as if it were a checkbox. The text property controls the text displayed in the label for the switch, whereas the off and on text controls the text on the thumb. Similarly, the textAppearance and the related setTypeface() methods control the typeface and style of label text, whereas the switchTextAppearance and the related seSwitchTypeface() methods control that of the thumb.

The Android Developer Guide regarding toggle buttons also states, that

The ToggleButton and Switch controls are subclasses of CompoundButton and function in the same manner, so you can implement their behavior the same way.
